Abstract

This research examines how collocations related to women in Sundanese language are displayed and represented in Manglè magazine media. To scrutinize how local media represent and position women in their articles, we conducted this research using a corpus linguistics approach and critical discourse analysis. The dynamics of word occurrences, collocations, and semantic preferences of Sundanese words related to women in Manglè Magazine from 1958-2013 are highlighted using AntCont software. Next, we identify the representational categories that occur in the articles. The results of this identification form the basis for further exploration and analysis of how local Sundanese-language media carry discourse about Sundanese women from the use of the words “wanoja“ and “istri“. From the results of the analysis, it was found that the use of the word “wanoja“ in Manglè Magazine is represented and positioned quite a lot in the public sphere. Meanwhile the word “istri“ collocated more with the position of Sundanese women in the domestic sphere. Further discussion about the differences in the representation of Sundanese women from the use of the two words above is also presented in this study.
